Military Cross

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. At night he led a party of sappers and infantry into "No Man's Land" and, with incendiary piles, set light to two aeroplane hangars which the enemy had been using as cover from observation and for machine gun emplacements. While successfully carrying out his work he was all the time under heavy machine gun fire from another hangar 50 yards away.'
